Are you from NZ? Pretty sure AK is still on this side of the date line
Anyway I think on Friday, once the day rolls over, I’m going to go in and get some radiographs done at urgent care. My hand remains all swollen and such. Moderate pain, more so with gripping and lifting, and I’m tender along my distal radius and basically all of my metacarpals. I don’t think I broke anything but I think it’s time for imaging.
Non swollen hand for comparison

It's already the next day....in New York.
Yeah, that's pretty swollen! I'd have to imagine that hurts like hell. Usually the swelling means something broke somewhere...maybe just a smallish fracture.
My leg seems to swell up a few inches in circumference throughout the night. I can't fit it in the brace in the morning, I have to loosen it. Then, in an hour or so, the swelling goes way down.
That looks unusual. Maybe you should talk to a doctor....oh wait!
Hope this is just a scratch and you get better soon! Get well!
Road warrior day. Working starting at 4am off at 2pm home by 3 hop in the truck and drive towards Redmond OR until exhausted then sleep in camper.
What up brotatoes. Swam for an hour this morning. Easy effort felt good.
I got up to pee three times last night, wtf. And it's not like I've got prostate issues and only peed a few drops. These were legit pees.

waddup beeyotchez,
Need to buy some slacks and shoes for Germany since I didn't put any dress clothes in the coach.
Parts from amazon should arrive today so the jeep may be truly ready after this week.

It's Friday, I'm still an idiot.
My old man has an ~8yo Nokia bluetooth speaker that he is perfectly happy with, it sounds like a fart in a bucket to anyone else.
My stupid brain decided that he needs a good one and that is a 250+km round train/bus trip for me because I like to impose my ideas on others, hahaha!
Life is too short to have shitty speakers!
Work was pretty easy, no Friday curse stuff happened.

Hi
Day 3 of hanging out with my little dude before he starts school. Kind of bored, but I like the bonding.

Lumbar puncture attempt number 4 at 10am today. I'm asking for some drugz shortly because man I am not looking forward to it.
On Wednesday they gave me two Lorazepam tablets under my tongue (before the 3rd attempt), but I was so wound up from be stabbed repeatedly that they didn't even do anything.
Congrats on the tomato hand. Hopefully just some swelling and nothing more.
While I wish there was moar summer left since I didn’t get to ride much I am looking forward to Fall. Simply for the fact that mosquitos will be dead. For several weeks now my legs have been covered in either poison ivy or insect bites. So over being itchy.
Watching the perfect storm of record high temps, zero humidity and moron attractant (3 day weekend) line up for a catastrophic fire. Getting the GTFO supplies together today.
(<-- picture with Toshi's giant, surely broken hand)light work day, no plans for the weekend, still can't ride but it'll be a super hot one anyway. Maybe grab a last minute ticket to NIN at Red Rocks.
Coffee. Only had one email waiting for me this morning, which is highly irregular. It's either a sign that my day is going to absolutely fall apart within hours, or maybe it'll be quiet and I can actually get some work done.
Feel slightly less craptacular, dry cough still but with less frequency, chest hurts, still slight sore throat. What's still getting me is body ache. Christ almighty does my back hurt. I'll try another COVID test later this afternoon.
Wife is also down now, feeling shitty.
Edit:. Freshly ground coffee and frying garlic prove that my sense of smell is almost completely gone.

48°, not far off.
Gonna be a hot day in Black Hills today.
Samsung just accepted my $900 trade-in, so that's nice.

Went to my new local, in network (UCHealth) urgent care to get checked out and get radiographs. And voila, I have a comminuted, mildly displaced fracture through the base of my fifth metacarpal by my glance at them. A boxer’s fracture, from punching the ground, if you will. I’ll grab pictures from PACS later.
Oh yeah, I was supposed to see Alice in Chains tomorrow

I wasn't feeling great earlier this week either (stuffy, dry cough, tired, chest tightness, slightly sore throat, sore muscles etc.) COVID test was negative. Went for a solo ride with the dog to try and cough out the gunk and that seems to have worked a bit as I am feeling better today.

First day of professional learning yesterday was fine. I advocated for myself and my department and we might actually get some representation going forward so that was good.
I had a pretty nasty boxer's fracture once, from that very thing. 2 surgeries and a bunch of pins.
